Account Assignment

In Transaction OME9 for 'K' Account Assignment Category, we can check the option Display for field Cost Center. So if I go to ME21N, enter the K in the Account Assignment column, then the we can not enter any Cost Center because of the setting that we made in OME9.

But what I want is this setting is only apply in ME22N transaction only. i.e the user can enter the Cost Center during the PO creation but can not change the Cost Center in ME22N. How can I achieve this?

Hi PM,
Under the OME9 screen, can you confirm that the tick for Acct. assg.
changeable is NOT ticked on by mistake. We have the setting in which the
tick is not on and the field for Cost Centre is set to Reqd. entry and
this works perfectly fine for us. We can input a Cost centre in ME21N and
in ME22N, the field is a display field. I too didnt find any field for Cost
Centre under OMF4. I guess the settings flow only from OME9.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

The check box acct assgnmt changeable if checked , wld enable changing acct
assignment following GR and IR too. We use transaction ME21 and ME22 and the
said field in transaction OME9 is not ticked. But still able to change acct
assignments in ME22. So may be the setting is somewhere else

Hi Kamal,
Exactly !! When the check box is not ticked, the system will not allow the
user to change the Account assignement in a PO once a GR or IR is carried
out under that Account assignment. Hence once a GR or IR is entered against
a PO, the account assignment field gets greyed out to prevent any changes
in the values therein. However, as long as a GR or an Invoice is entered
against the PO, the field will be available for change !! Correct me if my
understanding is incorrect.
The key question therefore is not whether one is using Tranx code ME22 or
ME22N but whether a GR or an Invoice is already entered against the PO
before editing the PO in change mode.
Thanks & Regards,

Yeah ,The field is available for change untill no GR or IR has taken place.If
one intends to change the acct assgnmts after GR or IR havin taken place; then
the check box in OME9 'accts assgnments changeable' needs to be ticked.

Hi PM,
To the best of my knowledge, we do not have any user exits in use for a
Purchase Order transaction. I guess this is standard setting. Just needed
to check one thing though - Are you atleast entering a GR or an Invoice
before you try modifying the PO with ME22 or ME22N. At my end (I am also on
46C), the Account assignment field is also open till such time that I post
a GR or an invoice against that PO. Once i do, only then does the field get
greyed out.. Let me know about this.
Thanks & Regards,

There is no config for ur requirement. There wld be a user exit for this
available. But if its not there you can use field exits for this. Consult ur
abap resources for the same.Have a field exits for each fild like Cost centre,
Gl accts etc (all u want to be display ones ) and assign it to program SAPMM06E
and transaction ME22N

my requirement is "no changes is allowed to the Acc Assignment once the PO is created" irregardless of GR or IR is being posted.

I tested it. Without the checked in the OME9 for the Acc Assignment Changeable field. I was not able to change the Acc Assignement (Cost Center, GL, etc) in the PO only after if the GR or IR is posted.

What I am looking for is if there is a way acheive my requirement - "no changes is allowed to the Acc Assignment once the PO is created" irregardless of GR or IR is being posted.

Create for all the fields for which you want to restrict changes in transaction
ME22N. Take the help of ABAP persons in this . It will involve coding error
message if the existing value of the same field is changed. Then assign it to
program SAPMM06E and transaction ME22N

Who can tell me what can i change the basic setting in the PO item delivery
schedule.I'm testing that i can change the sales order basic setting in the
SD module.But i don't change the basic setting in the PO item delivery
schedule.I need you help.Thanks a lot!

If im not mistaken material which use account assignment determines which
account assignment data (such as cost center, account number and so on).The
G/L account number identifies the G/L account in a chart of accounts.The
controlling area is the highest organizational unit in Controlling.Cost
center the organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a
defined location of cost incurrence.

Hi PM, While on the account assignment screen, go to System >> Status. You
will find the tcode OME9 as the one being called within SPRO. Thats how we
figure out the tcode to go to an IMG screen directly as against going thru
the 'usual' SPRO path.
Thanks & Regards,

- Drill down through the IMG to the item I am interested in
- Single click on the description (so in your case on 'Maintain Account
Assignment Categories)
- From the dropdown menus select Edit > Display IMG activity
- Take note of the last 4 characters of the IMG Activity ID, and try those
as a transaction code

Whilst it is not always the case I frequently find that it is - as in the
case you are enquiring after - so it is worth trying.

Hope you find that of some use?

Best regards,

Phil

PS Incidentally, if you look at the ID relating to your question,
SIMG_CFMENUOLMEOME9, before the final 4 characters there are another group
of 4 which have a purpose - OLME... If you input that then you will get the
IMG Purchasing view!

Hello-
Simple Question ...!
I want to create a Purchase Order & Charge it to a Specific Cost
Center....Account Assignment Category "K"
Do I have to assign a Plant to Purchasing Organization in order to create a
Purchase Order with Account Assignment Category "K" ??
Thanks in advance.
<Muthu>

Hi Vishnu-
So, Do I have to assign Plant to Purchasing Organization, for creating any
kind of Purchase Orders ??
I thought that we did not need that assignment for Account Assignment " K"
(Cost Center).
Please advice.
Thanks
Muthu.

1. We are purchasing diesel (only one material code)
2. As per val class, the consumption is charged in G/L A/c "Fuel
Consumption"
3. The diesel is used for POwer Generation, in Earth Moving equipments, in
vehicles, in Furnace at production plant and at a few other places.
4. Now it is not feasible for me to find out diesl used for power generation
in balance sheet (automatically)

The above material is example of one material, there are a no of materials
where such problem is being faced.

HI Vijay MM Account assignment as u must be aware is
absed on valuation class/movement type/plant(val grp
code) So for a single material to hit different
accounts the only way is to have multiple movement
types (copy of existing movement types) But this will
only blow up ur movement types as well as the GLs to
unmanageable proportions. Business has to deside if it
is absolutely a must to see in "Balance Sheet" the
consumption of fuel for various purposes. U can always
get reports using different reason codes in the same
movement type to get your figures instead of messing
account assignments.

Sanjay has hit the nail exactly on the head. Getting reports based on
the Cost Centers is the best way we have found to track the
consumptions. Assign each of your area to a Cost Center and assign the
correct Cost Center when you move the goods and your requirement will be
met...

I think OMS2 has nothing to do with account assignment. Sanjay should first specify what is meant by account assignment, which account do you mean ? in which situation do you need the assignment (consumption?) - pls specify more detailed

hi
go to OMH4 or purchasing/ecternal view of item categories. Select proper item category and tick material as mandatory. IF this is not possible use se16 and update direct to table if not mistaken T163.

i assigned valuation class for a given material.
i created one G/L account with reference for my company code then saved...
how to assign valuation class to G/L account. is there any Transation code..or under which option in IMG the actual settings.

In IMg select Inventory Management, there is an option
called Account assignment, select that there u get
3options viz., Rule, Posting key, Account assignment.
Select rules there u click on Debit/Credit option and
material class then press enter key and follow the
system message.

Hello Haritha,
Go into customizing of account assignment category and find out which
Account Modifier is maintained there for a/c category 'G'. Then go into
OBYC, for transaction event key GBB and the selected account modifier
you will find the GL account defaulted there.
Hope this will solve your purpose.

Hi,
For the purchase orders, I want to make the account assignment "U" as unavailable. We have the contracts set up with account assignment U for materials and services.When these are converted into contract release order / purchase orders, I want them to enter the correct account assignment as the release strategies are looking at the account assignment too.Incase of materials the system prompts for the account assignment and the PO will not be saved with U. But for services the PO can be saved with U. Does anyone know where in the config I can make these changes for services

Hi,Can you help me please regarding the account assignment and automatic posting procedures in MM side GR with PO...i have already creayed a new movement type and i have also created a new Gl account for this movement type the GL Account is for GRIR in our company we have an existing GRIR clearing account and movement type they are using is 101. my question is i want to do the same procedures for the new movement type and the new GRIR clearing account i dont know how to do the automatic posting.

Hi!
The better way is - that you copy original MVT 101 to another one. Then -
the system copy the modificatoor, too.
For posting GR/IR you need BSX for stock account and WRx for clearing
acount. You define it in OBYC.
Good luck!
Bye !
Maryann

Hi Mary Ann,
Im done copying the original movementy type 101 to z57. my problem is in OBYC there is already an existing account for GRIR clearing is it possible to have 2 GRIR clearing in WRX? for movement type 101 entry they are using the old gl grir and for the z57 i want to use another grir clearing is this possible? pls advice again urgent...thank u so much.

Hello Shira,
You probably solve the problem in this time, but I wasn`t on mail.
in OMJJ tc you had define the WRX modificator. If you copy WRX to another
ZRX and then conect ZRX to new MVT z57, you probably could define also the
new GL acoount in OBYC.

This information is with regards to the question "How can I set the cost center field to display only in ME22N".
The easiest way to do this is to create a transaction variant (SHD0). Just set KOSTL to "Output only".

hi, i got a problem in PO creation, the system ask for a GL account...which normally should not cuz it's already defined in OBYC...

We're using a fresh ECC 6.0,i created new company code and i assigned to INT chart of accounts...i transported all the GL accounts from the said chart of accounts to mine...my question is, when i checked OBYC, why is it there's already assigned accounts?...i figured i need to do it manually but it's already there...is that the reason why i'm having a hard time with PO creation?..
